miRNA plasma levels in rats 24 hours after partial hepatectomy, sham operation, or isoflurane anesthesia. miRNA levels in plasma samples of Wistar rats 24 hours after partial hepatectomy (PH), sham laparotomy (SL), or anesthesia only (AN). Measurements were performed with qRT-PCR (n = 3). The results were normalized to untreated animals and are displayed in fold changes (miRNA levels in plasma samples from untreated animals was considered to be 1; Student’s t-test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were not found 24 hours after the procedures between the PH- and SL-groups (Oneway anova, p > 0.05).
